Jackie Ney – St. Patrick’s School – Sheldon, Iowa

I teach middle school science and the last year was very hard for me. I lost my husband in a motorcycle accident last August right before school started. Towards the end of the year I was starting to feel like I wasn’t doing a good job as a teacher. I was about to quit. I went to Science in the Rockies and not only was it fabulous science information and great stem activities. It helped to inspire me to not give up or give in. Thank you Steve for helping me realize that I was where I needed to be and inspiring me to keep going.
